The Appeal

The DBS represented the pinnacle of Aston Martin's range when it was introduced in 2007, sitting above the DB9 with sharper styling, a more purposeful chassis, and a naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 producing over 500bhp. With its carbon-fibre bodywork elements and muscular proportions, the DBS remains one of the most striking grand tourers of the modern era, and, of course, it earned its place in popular culture as the car of choice for James Bond in both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.

This 2011 example is finished in Quantum Silver over Obsidian Black leather, a handsome combination that suits the car's aggressive lines. Prospective buyers should note that the MOT has expired, and it will require a fresh MOT before returning to the road.

For enthusiasts seeking one of the most charismatic, exhilarating and culturally significant Aston Martins of the modern era, this DBS presents a compelling opportunity. Blending breathtaking V12 performance, timeless design and genuine cinematic pedigree, it embodies the very essence of the Aston Martin marque.

The Mechanics

6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 510 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque
Six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' torque-converter automatic gearbox with paddle shift
Adjustable dampers
Switchable sport mode and traction control

Power comes from a formidable 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering 510bhp and 420lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a six-speed Touchtronic 2 torque-converter automatic gearbox with paddle-shift. The driving experience is enhanced by adjustable dampers, allowing the suspension characteristics to be tailored to different conditions, while switchable Sport mode sharpens the car’s responses for more engaging performance. Traction control can also be disabled, giving the driver greater control over the DBS’s dynamic capabilities.
